I searched through the review section on these skis, but I didnt feel I got a good enough description on these skis. Can someone else help me out who has skied or owns these skis? I know you guys hate it when people do this. But I would really like some input before i go off and buy the skis.

Just how it skis overall. Park , pipe, rails, and the rest of the mountain. How it flexes, basically where you can take the ski on the mountain and still be comftorable

Jumps-awesome.great pop and real smooth in the air
Rails-good havent had a problemt wiht edges
Groomers-Holds a good edge and is stable at high speeds
Ice-Cuts right through it..no problems
Bumps-Perfect flex pattern for bumps...
Pipe-Not as good as I exspected but still mediocre
Powder-Good for its size...but almost anything will float me

Durabilty-Good for me...bad for others...

if you need any more info pm me...

+2 im pretty sure means that tehy are mounted 2 centemetres forward of teh centre line. so then -2 would be back 2 centimetres from the centre line.

where is this 'center line'? if my heel piece is pretty much covering the size of the ski, is that right?
